OUR PROGRAMMING

Relevant. Engaging. Affirming. Liberating.

Our goal is to develop programming that provides academic and enrichment opportunities to communities that are historically underrepresented. 

The programs utilize project-based learning and experiential learning as a focal point of the opportunities we provide.
